Marketing Sponsorships
The Visit Edmond Marketing Sponsorship supports opportunities with the potential to have a significant economic impact on the City of Edmond. Applicants should detail how their marketing opportunity promotes Edmond to citizens and visitors. Visit Edmond wants to partner with other entities to welcome groups/events to Edmond and showcase all that the City of Edmond has to offer. Applicants may request a marketing sponsorship in exchange for promoting Visit Edmond and encouraging visitors to dine, stay and play in Edmond. This program is supported by a portion of the city’s dedicated 4% lodging tax, which is collected by hotels and vacation homes on nightly room rates and utilized to promote business, leisure and sports-related travel to the City of Edmond.
